    SOUTHERN LAKE ASSESSMENT SOUTHERN RECREATION PROFILE LAKE Scuba Diving: OPPORTUNITIES FOR LAKE HURON ASSESSMENT FINGER LAKES SCUBA LAKES FINGER The southern Lake Huron coast is a fantastic setting for outdoor exploration. Promoting the region’s natural assets can help build vibrant communities and support local economies. This series of fact sheets profiles different outdoor recreation activities that could appeal to residents and visitors of Michigan’s Thumb. We hope this information will help guide regional planning, business develop- ment and marketing efforts throughout the region. Here we focus on scuba diving – providing details on what is involved in the sport, who participates, and what is unique about diving in Lake Huron. WHY DIVE IN LAKE HURON? With wildlife, shipwrecks, clear water and nearshore dives, the waters of southern Lake Huron create a unique environment for scuba divers. Underwater life abounds, including colorful sunfish and unusual species like the longnose gar. The area offers a large collection of shipwrecks, and is home to two of Michigan’s 12 underwater preserves. Many of the wrecks are in close proximity to each other and are easily accessed by charter or private boat. The fresh water of Lake Huron helps to preserve the wrecks better than saltwater, and the lake’s clear water offers excellent visibility – often up to 50 feet! With many shipwrecks at different depths, the area offers dives for recreational as well as technical divers. How Popular is Scuba Diving?

  • No Limits Freediving

    No Limits Freediving

    1 No Limits Freediving "The challenges to the respiratory function of the breath-hold diver' are formidable. One has to marvel at the ability of the human body to cope with stresses that far exceed what normal terrestrial life requires." Claes Lundgren, Director, Center for Research and Education in Special Environments A woman in a deeply relaxed state floats in the water next to a diving buoy. She is clad in a figure-hugging wetsuit, a dive computer strapped to her right wrist, and another to her calf. She wears strange form-hugging silicone goggles that distort her eyes, giving her a strange bug-eyed appearance. A couple of meters away, five support divers tread water near a diving platform, watching her perform an elaborate breathing ritual while she hangs onto a metal tube fitted with two crossbars. A few meters below the buoy, we see that the metal tube is in fact a weighted sled attached to a cable descending into the dark-blue water. Her eyes are still closed as she begins performing a series of final inhalations, breathing faster and faster. Photographers on the media boats snap pictures as she performs her final few deep and long hyperventilations, eliminating carbon dioxide from her body. Then, a thumbs-up to her surface crew, a pinch of the nose clip, one final lungful of air, and the woman closes her eyes, wraps her knees around the bottom bar of the sled, releases a brake device, and disappears gracefully beneath the waves. The harsh sounds of the wind and waves suddenly cease and are replaced by the effervescent bubbling of air being released from the regulators of scuba-divers.

  • Monofins for Freediving

    Monofins for Freediving

    Monofins for Freediving We have been intermittently following the debate concerning the use of the monofin in freediving and would like to share some of our findings. Two years ago we put together the first experimental monofin/freedive clinic where we assembled some unique elements. We put together the leading trainers in monofin swimming, namely the Russian coaches from Tomsk university, who train both the Russian national team and their chief rivals, the Chinese, the leading specialist monofin manufacturer belonging to the same school and a group of freedivers which represented the best cross-section, from the very top of freediving competition to the very novice. This same group also represented advanced freedivers who already had experience with the monofin, advanced freedivers who had never used a monofin and a novice freediver with no experience of the monofin. Although the number of freedivers involved was small we feel that with a larger group the conclusions would have been much the same. The objectives were to find (i) What style and why? (ii) What rhythm and amplitude of movement? (iii) What kind of monofin and what stiffness of blade and if this was individual what the relevant criteria for monofin choice should be? (iv) What compromises and adaptations had to be made to suit the specific needs of the freediver? (v) What was the best training method for the monofin freediver. What style and why? We had heard a lot of talk concerning adaptations of the ‘classic ’style that freedivers should adopt. I know from personal acquaintance that some of the people recommending various adaptations were not capable of demonstrating a good classic style hence their recommendations were from lack of ability in the monofin and hence lack of choice through limited ability.

    12/16/2020 Scuba Divers Can Help Keys’ Ocean Ecosystem during REEF’s Upper Keys Lionfish Derby | Scuba Diving Log In Scuba Divers Can Help Keys’ Ocean Ecosystem during REEF’s Upper Keys Lionfish Derby COURTESY FLORIDA KEYS AND KEY WEST AUGUST 20, 2020 Divers can help preserve the Florida Keys’ native reef fish populations during the fun, socially distanced Reef Environmental Education Foundation 2020 Lionfish Derby. Scheduled Thursday through Sunday, Sept. 10-13, the derby challenges participants to capture and remove as many non-native lionfish as possible from Keys waters. This year, COVID-19 restrictions have forced organizers of the annual competition to modify the derby to minimize potential exposure to or spread of the virus. However, divers are to have two full days to capture lionfish and maximize their effectiveness in the removal of this invasive predator from Keys reefs. Divers vie for prize money including first- through third-place awards for capturing the most lionfish, the largest and the smallest. New this year are two divisions in the “most lionfish” category: Reef Defenders and Apex Predators. The latter is the more competitive and prize monies are higher. During early-bird registration on or before Aug. 30, teams of two to four people can register online for only $50 per team. Registrations on or before Sept. 6 are $75 per team and late registrations by the final deadline of 4 p.m. Sept 10 are $100 per team. All registrants receive a 2020 Lionfish Derby rash guard. The first 40 paid participants also receive a derby hat.

    Hypothermia (Pg 129-130)

    Excerpts from: Whitewater Rescue Manual By Charles Walbridge & Wayne A. Sundmacher Sr. Charlie Walbridge is one of the first seven individuals inducted into the International Whitewater Hall of Fame. He is being recognized for his many contributions to the whitewater safety and rescue field. Charlie has conducted numerous swiftwater rescue clinics for NRS associates and we're proud to be associated with him! The International Whitewater Hall of Fame and Museum is located at the Adventure Sports Center International, McHenry, Maryland Cold-Water Protection (Pg 24-25) Water draws heat from the body 25 times faster than air. Like windchill, the effects of cold water increase when the current is fast. Sudden immersion in snowmelt or spring runoff is extremely debilitating, causing a substantial loss of strength, coordination, and judgment rather quickly. All cold-weather paddlers should select the gear needed for the insulation required to stay warm. Drysuits and wetsuits both work effectively in cold water. In a wetsuit, air is trapped inside the neoprene material, and the suit fits snugly enough to keep most cold water out. What little water gets inside is quickly warmed by the user's body heat. Drysuits create an actual barrier between the environment and the paddler, eliminating that initial “cold-water shock.” Paddling drysuits are made of a waterproof material with latex seals at the neck, wrists, and ankles. The paddler regulates the inside temperature by adding or removing layers of insulation, such as pile or polypropylene. In milder weather, a water-proof shell top or paddle jacket can be combined with pile clothing or a wetsuit for comfort.

Snorkeling is conducted at sheltered (not open to normal wave/tide/weather action) beach locations. The activity is designed as an entry level with participants learning how to use a snorkel and mask, swimming on the surface of the water (positive buoyancy) to explore ocean environments. This activity may be modified to a land based beach exploration program if conditions are not safe to enter the water.
